Beside being employed in the Temple building, the tree ( b’rsh<\/em>) is used in shipbuilding (Eze 27:5<\/span>), for spear shafts (Nah 2:4<\/span>), and for musical instruments (2Sa 6:5<\/span>). It was a tall tree on which storks built their nests.<\/p>\n The LXX. has = pine wood, the Vulgate ligna abiegna<\/em>, to which, no doubt, the ‘firwood’ of A.V. is due.<\/p>\n Hiram sent<\/B> a letter, 2Ch 2:11<\/span>. <\/P> Concerning timber of fir; <\/B>which formerly was, and still is, very useful in most buildings.

The Hebrew name is berosh, <\/em> ( ,) and may also designate the cypress <\/em> or the pine<\/em>. In 2Ch 2:8<\/span>, almug trees <\/em> are mentioned besides cedar and fir, clearly showing that Lebanon was noted for other kinds of celebrated wood besides the cedar. But the almug trees furnished by Hiram were of a quality inferior to those which Solomon subsequently obtained from Ophir.
